The millions of them that never get heard from
I haven't read any of Nietzsche's books except when I dipped into them occasionally in high school. Today I found myself in the German philosophy section of my university's library, and I pulled a few of the Cambridge editions of Nietzsche's books off the shelf and started reading them, and I was just struck by the force of his style. It comes through even in English. I don't remember it coming through like that when I dabbled in him a few years ago. These translations were by R.J. Hollingdale. Is he considered standard? Because I felt like I wante to read these books. For philosophy, they grab you.

Yes, he and Kauffman are the good Nietzsche translators

I agree. The Birth of Tragedy is probably the most interesting thing I've ever read.
Dude Beyond Good & Evil and The Antichrist are masterworks of brilliance, but i'm reading Zarathustra now and it is a fucking C H O R E
